In today’s Part II devotion, I would like to share some wonderful quotes on the power and mystery of faith.1
“Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.” – Corrie Ten Boom
“Faith makes all evil good to us, and all good better; unbelief makes all good evil, and all evil worse. Faith laughs at the shaking of the spear; unbelief trembles at the shaking of a leaf, unbelief starves the soul; faith finds food in famine, and a table in the wilderness. In the greatest danger, faith says, ‘I have a great God.’ When outward strength is broken, faith rests on the promises. In the midst of sorrow, faith draws the sting out of every trouble, and takes out the bitterness from every affliction.” – Richard Cecil
“God can make the very worst things that ever happened in your life to work for your very best, if you have faith.” – Zac Poonen
“Faith as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.” – A. W. Tozer
“Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation.” – Andrew Murray
“In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.” – Blaise Pascal
“Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises.” – John Piper
“Faith upholds a Christian under all trials, by assuring him that every painful dispensation is under the direction of his Lord; that chastisements are a token of His love; that the season, measure, and continuance of his sufferings, are appointed by Infinite Wisdom, and designed to work for his everlasting good; and that grace and strength shall be afforded him, according to his need.” – John Newton
“I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse.” – Philip Yancey
“Faith is to believe what we do not see, and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe.” – Augustine
“Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. Faith is the belief that God will do what is right.” – Max Lucado
“The beautiful thing about this adventure called faith is that we can count on Him never to lead us astray.” – Chuck Swindoll
“Those that God used in the past were just ordinary people with an extraordinary Master. They were not all champions of great faith, but little people who saw their own need, and put their small faith in a great God.” – Winkie Pratney
“I believe the promises of God enough to venture an eternity on them.” – Isaac Watts
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
“Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.” – Dwight L. Moody
“Trials should not surprise us, or cause us to doubt God’s faithfulness. Rather, we should actually be glad for them. God sends trials to strengthen our trust in him so that our faith will not fail. Our trials keep us trusting; they burn away our self-confidence and drive us to our Savior.” – Edmund Clowney
“Faith…involves trusting in the future promises of God and waiting for their fulfillment.” – R. C. Sproul
“Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.” – Blaise Pascal
“To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.” – G.K. Chesterton
“Only in a world where faith is difficult can faith exist.” – Peter Kreeft
